Conventional leader development programs don't equip current & aspiring leaders to solve today's challenges, let alone tomorrow's. It's time to go where no other leader training dares to go, so you can elevate your leadership in ways that other leaders are unequipped to do.

Self-development gaps make it impossible for leaders to actualize their enterprise's highest intentions without sacrificing their values, integrity, personal wellbeing, cherished relationships or social responsibility. It's time for leaders to close these gaps. For their own sake. For the sake of those they lead. For the sake of those they love. For the sake of our world.

Self-Development Limitations Sabotage Mindset & Skills

No amount of mindset & skills training can be strong enough to counteract the negative impact of self-development limitations. Leader development programs must do deep dives into self-development. The Center for Integral Leadership's Strategic Integrated Self-Development™ help you become the leader your enterprise needs to you become.

The Conditions in Which Leaders Operate Have Changed

Today's VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) conditions require leaders' worldviews & selfviews (paradigms) to change. This requires significant changes in how leader development programs are designed, what they cover, and how they deliver training. The CIL's Paradigm Literacy™ training helps you elevate your worldview & selfview so it better enables you to feel as you most want to feel & act as you most want to act as a leader.

Disowned Shadow Limits Leader Effectiveness

Cultural, systems & personal shadow are pillaging leaders and the enterprises they lead. (Shadow is what we hide from that creates gaps between our intention & our impact. The Center for Integral Leadership's Shadow Technology™ methods enable you to deal with your blind spots so the impacts you have more fully match the intentions you cherish.

What Prevents Leaders From Seeing & Seizing Opportunities

Highly developed dynamic situational awareness enables leaders to better turn VUCA conditions into valuable opportunities for their enterprise. The skills this requires include presencing, integrity, authentic empathy response-ability, a capacity to "hold" creative tension, and awareness of emerging insight. Embodying and catalyzing these skills in their team is that elevates coordinated effort and collaboration to new levels of productivity.

It's Time for a New Version of Leader Effectiveness

That version is one that makes integrity profitable, collaboration productive, happiness sustainable, & cultures healthy. It's a version that no longer requires leaders to sacrifice their personal wellbeing or cherished relationships to succeed.

The most transformative leaders are those with the vision and the wherewithal to create and shape futures we all want. They tap into a wider collective intelligence, whereby our mental, physical, psychological, social, spiritual, creative and decision-making skills all become integrated and amplified. We call this the “integral approach.” An integral approach provides leaders much greater resource than they typically access. What participants will carry forward into the world are the capacities, skills, and visions to be a force for community good while transforming themselves and their business, organization, agency, or work team.

The Center for Integral Leadership's framework takes integrated leader development massive steps forward so you can finally get the results you've been looking for from your leader development efforts.
